All of the performers with guaranteed contracts continued to be paid by the Turner/Time Warner subsidiary called Universal Wrestling Corp. (formerly World Championship Wrestling, Inc.). I believe the only performers who opted to take a buyout of their guaranteed contracts to come to the WWF and be a part of "Shane McMahon's WCW" were DDP, Booker T., Buff Bagwell, and Billy Kidman. They also brought in Torrie Wilson, who had already been released from WCW sometime prior to the sale to the WWF.
Did Kanyon take a buyout, or was he a free agent? He wasn't part of the group of 24, if I recall correctly.
You're right, he wasn't. I can't remember if he was still under contract or not.
I also just remembered that they later brought in Kronik for a cup of coffee, but I can't recall if they were part of the WCW faction or not.
They were part of the "Alliance", managed by Stevie Richards who I think had defected a few weeks before.

| Hulk Hogan was on Bubba the Love Sponge, stating point blank that he was the new TNA booker, that he will be overseeing the company and changing things around. Hogan said that his contract doesn't say anything about wrestling and that he's "being brought in to run the show." In regard to Vince Russo, Hogan claimed he could fire Russo but is giving him "another chance." He also said TNA is "spending big money now", so take that all that for whatever it's worth.
